Record your screen ONLINE

Problem: You are working in an Internet cafe where you don’t have permission to install new software on the computer so how do you capture a video of your desktop screen activity?

Enter ScreenToaster, it’s a free web based screencasting tool that requires no installation and can record a movie of your full desktop screen (or just a rectangular portion) in few clicks.

Screen Toaster is a screen recorder cum screencast hosting service – when you are done recording, the video is uploaded online automatically and becomes immediately available for sharing via email or for embedding on other sites.

And since Screen Toaster is written as Java web applet, it will work on pretty much every OS including Windows, Mac and Linux machines that have the Java runtime.

Screencast-o-matic is another similar online screencasting app but what you may like more about Screen Toaster is that it renders videos as streaming Flash so it becomes easy to embed screencasts in web pages vis-a-vis Java embeds.

The downside – Screen Toaster doesn’t record audio and there’s no option to export output videos as QuickTime movies – these facilities are available in Screencast-o-Matic!

screenr is another recording site

to use screenr use he following steps

1) Go to screenr You should see a yellow button that says "Record your screencast now!"

2) After you have clicked it, it will ask you to run a java applet. Run it. Don't worry, it's not a driveby ;).

3) Adjust the dimensions of the box until you get your desired screen size. When you are ready to record click the red record . Then, a red box will indicate that you are recording.

4) When you are finished recording, press the DONE button just a little right from the original record button.

Notes: You can only record up to 5 minutes of footage, you also MUST have a twitter account.

I hope this will benefit some of you. Enjoy!

Register username for your facebook profile and pages

In twitter you have profile url like www.twitter.com/technowit which is simple and can  easily be remembered. Its simplicity also helps in promoting any product as it prevents going on twitter copying and pasting the profile address. Any person can easily type it whenever needed.

The same can be done with facebook. In twitter the its asked during the registration itself but in facebook it has to be selected afterwards.

You can select username for your facebook profile and also pages that you have created.As I told earlier selecting any username shorts the address and can also be easily remembered.

Its really easy to select the username. Login to your facebook account and visithttp://www.facebook.com/username/. There you will be asked to select username for both the username profile and pages.

Just select and save it.

How To Delete Undeletable Files?

Sometimes it is not possible to delete files and folders in Windows OS. It is common now-a-days. You will get prompts like “This program is in use” or anything similar to that.

You can delete those files and folders easily by using Safe Mode with Command Prompt.

I tried it and I was successful. Make sure you don’t do any mistakes, because it is your computer and it will be your funeral then.

First find where the file is in your computer. Suppose if the file name is “imp.txt” and if it is in the “My Documents”, then the complete address will be,

C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents

Write down this address in a paper.

Now restart your computer. When it boots press F8 key.

Now you’ll find Advanced Boot Options Menu.

Then goto Safe Mode with Command Prompt section.

Now computer boots in DOS prompt. Then type,

cd C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents

Then type, del imp.txt

Congrats, now the file is deleted!

*cd – change directory

A Demolishing analysis of Ankit Fadia's Ethical Hacking Seminar - Overrated, Overhyped & Pure waste of Time

Ankit Fadia's Ethical Hacking Seminar True Analysis: Review by Rishabh Dangwal

SOURCE: PROHACK

according to mrprohack(rd)

And there we go, I came to know about the renowned Ankit Fadia coming to my humble college & I was wondering if he will be different from those other security organizations who teach computer security & ethical hacking.
He was worse.
No offense to Mr Fadia, but actually I was quite saddened by some of the questions which he asked-

How many of you use Google as a search engine ?
(Almost all of hands raised)
He Proclaimed - STOP USING THEM !!

How many of you use email services like Gmail, yahoo?
(A lot of hands raised)
He Exclaimed - STOP USING THEM !!

How many of you use internet ?
(again..some of hands raised)
STOP USING THEM !!

And behind the above "Stop Using Them!!" there were some cheesy reasons of privacy invasion & record tacking. I wondered why he was not educating about how to use services like Scroogle/TOR/SOCKS for safe surfing (albeit nothing is safe, but still, they provide a greater degree of anonymity). Then..it all begin.

Part 1 - Screwing the Proxies
Then the hacking prodigy demonstrated his magical wits by recommending Russian proxy servers cuz "they were maintained by criminals" & "they kept no logs" .
F**INGBULLSHIT !!
Why the hell ! We can never trust a proxy if it keeps logs or not, that's why we always use SOCKS & proxy chaining to get the work done, even when I start something casual, i chain 10 proxies using a TOR network to get the work done, & that guy was recommending anonymizer.com & anonymizer.ru . And we shall trust Russian proxy cuz its maintained by criminals ? what an oxymoron ! His ace in hole in the proxy demo was the Princeton university proxy list where he claimed that to black all of the proxies it will need 413 individual tries ! A friend of mine asked -

"Well Mr Fadia, what if you block the Princeton university site ?"
pat came the nervous reply
" Appoint a junior of yours to go into local cybercafé to get the list, Xerox it and distribute in college"

Pure F**king Genius !
He went on to use SPYPIG to get IP of any person using an image. but he didn't get on the point that what if a person has disabled image viewing on email. Anyways..it all ended with a lot of questions which he dodged by saying that there will be a query session in the end. Ah well..

Part 2 - the infamous NETBUS DEMO
I patiently waited to ask him some questions regarding IP evasion & anonymity but he started to demo NETBUS Trojan, without any logic he went on to demonstrate how he can open his CD/DVD drive on his DELL Studio 14" (by installing a Trojan server on his own laptop & executing commands on local loopback & he didn't explained it, that's why its in f**king brackets !) . I asked him, on getting chance from my trusted roommates & event co-ordinators Sumit Dimri & Varun Kumar Singh & asked him 2 simple questions (Of course I already knew the answers) -

• What happens if a person is behind a NATBOX/Router/Firewall, then there is no use of getting IP, it might not be forwarded at all. What then ?
• Trojans are invalid against Linux. What can you do to break into Linux Security ?

He responded by dodging the first question & diverting it to a social awareness bullshit & some problem solving (which I cant seem to remember cuz it was irrelevant). The second question was answered by saying that Windows is insecure & I myself use Ubuntu linux at home.



Again..Pure F**king Genius !


From that point i got the point that he has no point :D
We moved on to the Steganography / Final session then.


Part 3 - the Steganography / Final session

The steganography session was started by exclaiming that he was contacted by FBI on 9/11 attacks (which i already knew as a matter of fact is fake courtesy of Attrition.Org & various LUG's out there) & they used images of sexy women to transmit data into them. He used a tool to hide text data into image & reverse it, nothing special, if you have been a reader of my blog I guess you probably know that Nettools allow you to do that. Then he demonstrated Bluetooth hacking by using bluesnarf (just a scan) & website hacking usingSQL injection (again..nothing special) with no logical explanation of how the injection worked. The session ended by "Roadside Sign hacking" in which he displayed pics on projector of hacked road signs by hackers at USA, Australia & other countries.

He then begin to advertise Dell laptops & the highly prestigious (READ: BELOW AVERAGE) AFCEH course conducted at Reliance Webworld. Then he ran away cuz he was running short of time & no Query Session was conducted.

Aftermath : Pure F**king Genius !

I guess you realize what I felt for the whole seminar & the whole Ankit Fraudia oops.. Fadia hype..
